Following is the code (Which is mostly same as the tutorial)
package com.abhi;
import java.util.List;
import javax.ws.rs.GET;
import javax.ws.rs.Path;
import javax.ws.rs.Produces;
import javax.ws.rs.core.MediaType;
@Path("/UserService")
public class UserService {
UserDao userDao = new UserDao();
@GET
@Path("/users")
@Produces(MediaType.APPLICATION_XML)
public List<User> getUsers(){
return userDao.getAllUsers();
}
}

I was just not placing the jars in proper way. Instead of placing the required jar in webapps\MyRestPrjct\WEB-INF\lib, I was placing it in webapps\MyRestPrjct\WEB-INF\lib\libs.
It is working fine after I the moved the jars from libs to lib.

Placing all the jars in WEB-INF/lib folder resolved the issue for me.
